Absolutely everything and more than I expected! The property and beaches were amazing!

We were greeted by Stephanie and the bellhop after we arrived from Punta Cana later than we expected which was very nice. We came into Las Terrenas area in the night and woke up the next morning to one of the best beach vacations we have experienced and we are seasoned island hoppers. We had Daniel the chef cook breakfast for us one morning and we highly recommend that. It was absolutely amazing! We never had a bad day or meal on the island while visiting. Thank y’all!

Letisha, what a joy to read about your experience! Arriving at night and waking up to discover the beauty of Las Terrenas must have been such a special moment. We’re delighted Stephanie and the team were there to welcome you, even after your late arrival. It’s also wonderful that Chef Daniel added a delicious touch to your vacation. Thank you for choosing us for your beach getaway and for sharing such lovely memories!

Great vacation in Las Terrenas

Was greeted by Betania who took care of our needs during the week. Great breakfasts prepared by the chef. Privacy isn't great as the jacuzzi is right at the street level. Getting chairs for the beach was a bit more complicated than expected but I think they are working on solving that. Everything is clean and well maintained. Would return but try the upstairs appartments!

Marc, thank you for spending your vacation with us in Las Terrenas! We’re glad Betania and our chef helped make your week enjoyable, especially with those great breakfasts. We also appreciate your honest comments about the jacuzzi’s location and the beach chairs. We’re happy to hear you would consider returning, and we hope you get to experience one of the upstairs apartments next time!

6/10 Okay

Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities
It was a beautiful and clean place. I didn't like the fact that it said that it had washer and dryer but didnt. It had a one piece broken down manual washer from the XV century. Couldn't use the ironing board because it was filthy on top. Comunication with one concierge was poor after the the first day. Chef and cleaning staff were very good.

The property is gorgeous, spacious, very well furnished, the kitchen is big and with all the basics you may need. It has a lovely and cozy outdoor with a 2 people jacuzzi, with warm water available, bbq and a patio furnished area. The rooms were neat clean and the spaces well distributed and big. The provided us with drinking water (10 gallons), available little cooler to take to the outside, beach towels, and bathroom towels, It has a pool on the complex, is about 300 meters to the beach, a few restaurants right in front of the beach next to the complex. The dining room is gorgeous and for 8 people. The only observation would be to have bigger tv for those who like to spend some time watching it other than going to the beach. Both rooms have TV sets with cable. There is also wi-fi and pretty much is a full equipped unit. They offer a chef to cook for you breakfast, included on the price of the rent, you have the option of getting your groceries or asking the chef to get them for you and a charge if you prefer to have dinner-lunch from the chef. We loved it and definitely go back!

Relaxing Getaway

We really enjoyed our stay! We had excellent weather. There are several beach bars/restaurants within walking distance. We rented a quad and explored town and a few other beaches but we would have been just fine without it. Chef Danny cooked us two delicious dinners and grocery service made it possible to be here without needing transportation. Our hot tub was cleaned and refilled every day and the maids always managed to come while we were out and not disturb us. Betina always answered any questions that we texted her almost immediately. She spoke wonderful English and was a big help to us through out our stay. I highly recommend this condo.

Beautiful and quiet!

I stood at Rivera Mar for my moms Birthday, stephany was very helpful and chef danny’s omelets were amazing. The decoration was beatiful and the small front area was the best and where we spent most of our day. We truly loved it. I recommend it if your looking for a quiet spot to enjoy a nice weekend getaway.
